BRIDGEPORT, CONN. — Amid
the machinery and delicate meters
which a short time ago were turn-
ing out ordnance for the Chemical
Warfare service, two army officers
look at the results of a quick and
affective reconversion program at
the Casco plant here. During the
war the Casco plants were the
largest producers of mortar fuses
•nd jellied oil bombs.
Now they have turned to elec-
tric heating pads. Joseph U. Cone,
company president, (center), ex-
plains the construction of one of
the pads to Col. Lester W. Hurd,
(left), head of New York and Bos-
ton procurement offices of the
Chemical Warfare services and
'Col. Ixiwell A. Elliott, deputy chief
of the Chemical Warfare service in
Washington, who purchased the
record number of fuses turned out
by the company. Col. Elliott re-
cently awarded the “E” flag to the
company for the fine work its em-
nlovees did up to V-J day.
Strikes and Pay:
How It Works
A group of workers earning
an hour go on strike.
Management offers them a raise
to $1.12 an hour. The workers re
fuse.
After eight weeks, Government
steps in and awards the strikers 18
cents an hour. Both sides accept.
It will take three years before
the six-cents spread, between the
company’s original offer and the
government award, compensates
the workers for the loss of eight
weeks’ pay.
This hypothetical illustration is
contained—in Labor’s Monthly Sur-
vey, an AFL publication.
